Note:

Any kind of three cards will only be counted as one type, for hand (♠A♠K♠Q), it can only be counted as Straight flush.

There is no order between suits (♠♥♦♣), hand (♠A♠K♠Q) ties hand (♥A♥K♥Q).

When comparing the same card type, the maximum points of the necessary cards constituting the card type will be compared. If they are the same, the second largest point will be compared. If they are still the same, the third largest point will be compared. When comparing points, the point of Ace is the largest. For example, hand (♠9♥9♦7) is higher than hand (♣6♥6♦A), hand (♠A♠6♠4) is higher than hand (♣A♣6♣5).

KA2 is not counted as straight and A23 is the lowest straight. For other straights, the order is determined according to the number of points of the largest card. For example, hand (♠9♥8♦7) is higher than hand (♣6♥5♦4).

During the game, the display order of player and banker's three cards will be changed to facilitate the player to check the card type and compare the hands.

Game Process

1. Game start: The system automatically generates a pile of one deck (52 cards). Before clicking ‘Bet’, players can choose to shuffle the current pile to generate a new pile.

2 Player place bet: Players set the bet amount of Ante bet and Pairplus bet and click to bet. Pairplus side bet is an optional bet, players can choose to close/open the side bet by click the ’OFF/ON’ button. Note that if the Ante bet amount plus Play bet amount (not yet bet) plus side bet amount exceeds the current balance, the bet will not be accepted.

3. The banker gives three cards to the player and himself. The player can view his three cards, and the banker's three cards are kept face down.

4. The player decides whether to raise or fold. If the player folds, the game ends and the player loses the Ante bet; if the player raises, he needs to place the Play bet which is the same amount as the Ante bet.

5. The banker turns over his three cards, the cards of the banker and the player are compared if the banker’s hand qualifies. Then the reward of the game is paid and the game ends.

After the game ends, all bets will be counted in the Bet Race, Daily giveaway and Referral Bonus. But if the banker’s hand does not qualify, the player’s Play bet will be returned and will not be counted in the Bet Race, Daily giveaway and Referral Bonus.

Reward Calculation

The rewards for each game of Three Card Poker include two parts: Comparison reward and Hand rewards, which are combined and paid to the players.

Comparison reward

The comparison reward depends on the choice of players (fold or raise) and bankers ( qualify or not qualify) and the hand comparison results:

	Player's and Banker's operations and hand comparison results
	Player fold	Banker not qualify	Player win	Player push	Player lose
Ante bet	-1 to 1	1 to 1	1 to 1	0 to 1	-1 to 1
Play bet	Not exist	Return	1 to 1	0 to 1	-1 to 1

For example, if the player raise and the banker does not qualify, then the Ante bet will be paid 1 to 1 and the Play bet will be returned.

Hand reward

When players get a specific hand, they can get hand rewards, including Ante Bonus and side bet reward. Hand rewards are only based on the player's hand, regardless of the player's and banker's operations and hand comparison results. The reward multiplier is as follows:

Ante Bonus Pay

Hand	Pay
Straight flush	9 to 1
Three of a kind	8 to 1
Straight	1 to 1

Ante bonus is based on the player's Ante bet amount, the player does not need to place another bet. When the player gets a straight or better, he can get Ante Bonus. If he fails to get a straight or better, he will lose nothing.

Pairplus Pay

Hand	Pay
Straight flush	40 to 1
Three of a kind	30 to 1
Straight	6 to 1
Flush	4 to 1
Pair	1 to 1
Others	-1 to 1

Pairplus bet requires players to place another bet and it will be counted into the bet amount. When the player gets a pair or better, he can get the reward, otherwise he will lose the side bet.

Players who get straights and better can get both Ante Bonus and Pairplus reward.

How is the pile generated?

The pile for Three Card Poker is generated before any player's bet and uses RSA asymmetric encryption.

The string is signed by the server's Private Key (non-public) and a string of hexadecimal digits(hash value) is generated and presented to the player with the Public Key to verify on the website. After the game ends, the hash value of the pile of the next game will be automatically generated, players can verify the consistency of the displayed pile and the hash value through the Public Key and hash value announced in advance, and the displayed pile.
